Jiang Hexi looked at the river workers watching and asked with concern: "Brothers, have you all eaten?"
They looked at each other and were busy with their work. Where did they have time to eat? So they shook their heads.
Jiang Hexi pointed to the smokey house in the distance and said to the river workers: "Brothers, it's still an old place. Let's go there and take a look. Order whatever you want, and we will reimburse you for whatever you want."
As he said that, the river workers walked towards that place.
Jiang Hexi looked at the busy figures of the river workers, and now she realized how hard-earned the workers were. She went to serve them rice while delivering their silver.
When they were about to finish their meal, Jiang Hexi suddenly asked, "Brothers, are you willing to continue working in the future?"
The brothers nodded and said to Jiang Hexi: "Of course I do."
Jiang Hexi pointed to the river bank in the distance and said, "It's still a foot away. If you finish it, I'll ask the emperor to pay you the money for the money."
When the river workers heard Jiang Hexi say this, they ran to the riverside, picked up the hammer and worked frantically.
The emperor looked at the busy work of the river, which was exactly the same as what he saw when he first came. He also heard that the Yellow River was flooded, but he didn't expect that this was not a natural disaster but a man-made disaster. If people didn't care about the place where they live,
If you don’t take good care of your own place, how can you live a safe life?
It was almost evening when the leader of the river workers ran to Jiang Hexi's room and said, "Report to your Majesty, we have strengthened the river embankment. Please give me instructions."
The emperor walked to the river bank and saw a flat appearance. Although it was still the foundation of the soil, it looked like a city wall because there were many signs of reinforcement on it.
Jiang Hexi smiled and said, "Now it is probably as stable as the city wall. As long as you don't change the route for dozens of miles in front and behind, it should be fine if this river can last for more than ten years."
The river craftsman next to him nodded and said to the emperor: "Yes, Your Majesty, we are doing our best this time. Look at how strong the river embankment is, it is difficult for us to insert it into the javelin."
As he said that, he picked up a javelin and inserted it into the river bank. He heard a sound of the javelin, and the javelin actually collapsed.
Jiang Hexi looked at the river embankment and whispered: "It turns out that the thousand-mile dike was destroyed by the ant hole because they cut corners and deceived the superiors and subordinates. This person's heart is really difficult to understand."
The emperor nodded with satisfaction, took out a hundred taels of gold and handed it to Jiang Hexi: "Brothers have worked hard, let them buy some wine and food for this."
Unexpectedly, the river workers did not thank the emperor, but knelt on the ground and said to the emperor: "Please take us in."
Jiang Hexi looked at the river workers with some embarrassment and asked, "How can you take in your Majesty? What are you doing now?"
They walked up one after another and talked about their experiences. It turned out that these river workers were all the victims of the nearby farmland being flooded.
It was because there was no place to farm that I was arrested to be a tyrant and repair the river bank.
They work hard every time, but they don’t have any work after the flood season.
Jiang Hexi looked at them so pitiful, but they were not well educated, so they could not do anything even if they were by the emperor.
The emperor looked at it and smiled and said, "Then, are you willing to be a guard by my side?"
The river workers nodded and said, "Of course I am willing. As long as it is a problem that can be solved, it is not a problem for us."
Jiang Hexi whispered in the emperor's ear: "I'm afraid it won't work? If they all enter the palace, I'm afraid even the palace will not be able to stay."
Huo Jingchen next to him seemed to realize the awkward atmosphere, walked up to them, saying, "Brothers, listen to me, it is impossible to do river work every day, but I can organize you into the Imperial Guard and then arrive.
During the flood season, we will come out to build the river bank. When we have nothing to do, we will do some fortifications in the capital. What do you think?"
"That's great, great!" The river workers were so happy that they heard that their work problems were solved, and they were professions they were good at.
Huo Jingchen happily ordered their number, then numbered the team, and took it to the emperor.
The emperor finally resolved his hatred and planned to have a good rest, so he found a restaurant in Liusha Town and prepared to have a good drink.
When the owner of the restaurant heard that it was a merchant from Beijing, he immediately took out all his best dishes and found them the best things.
The old man singing next to him ran away at some point and changed into a young and beautiful girl.
The emperor was interested in hearing it, and suddenly heard a familiar sound of flutes coming from the water.
The emperor couldn't help but feel his mood and suddenly shouted to the singer: "Stop!"
The singer thought she had done something wrong, so she quickly collected her loquats and ran into the kitchen.
Huo Jingchen brought the silver liang and explained: "Just just now, our master heard the sound of the flute on the boat outside and wanted to listen, so he lost his composure. Don't be surprised by the girl."
The singer nodded, looked at Jiang Hexi and asked, "Which one of you wants to find to play the flute? If you don't dislike it, I can let that person come and blow it to you."
Jiang Hexi opened his eyes wide, looked at the singer and asked, "Be serious about this? Our master will definitely not treat you badly."
The singer shook her head gently and said with a smile: "We are all people who have fallen into the world, of course we all know each other. This singer is a senior sister in our music shop, named Zhang Qiaoqiao."
Jiang Hexi handed the singer a silver tael and smiled and said, "Then please let the girl report on the boat and let her come slowly and give us a surprise."
The singer nodded, then put away the loquat, found a fastboat, and went to where the disciple was about to appear.
When the emperor saw Jiang Hexi coming back, he said a little embarrassedly: "How is it? Who is not scared to tears, right?"
Jiang Hexi shook his head and said with a smile, "No this time, I'm afraid that next time, you'll still not pay attention to your emotions, it's hard to say."
The emperor smiled and shook his head: "I didn't mean it, but the sound of this flute is too strange, and I feel like I've lost my soul."
Jiang Hexi looked at the emperor in disbelief and asked, "What did Your Majesty say? Can this flute make Your Majesty lose his soul? That's amazing, I have to meet you."
The emperor smiled with concern and said, "I'm afraid these laity masters are unwilling to come forward, so let's just forget it."
